encoder has been interrupted.

Absolute rotary encoders are capable of providing unique position values from the moment they are switched on as well as immediately after a power loss. This is accomplished by scanning the position of a coded material. All positions in these systems correspond to a fixed code. Even movements that occur while the system is without power are translated into accurate position values at once when the encoder is powered up again.
